Twitter DM not working

The DM (Direct Message) feature, however, is facing an issue globally where DMs are behaving weirdly for some users.

According to the reports, Twitter DMs are either disappearing all of a sudden or have stopped working completely.

My Twitter is broken, I’ll dm someone then the message will disappear and when they respond it will tell me they did but there’s no message.

These issues of Twitter DM not working have been affecting users for more than a week now and it only appears to be expanding further, irrespective of the device people use.

Basic troubleshooting steps such as trying to re-login, uninstalling and reinstalling apps fail to resolve the issue. Even if it does, the effect is temporary, the issue reappears after some time.

Twitter support, however, says they are aware of the issue and the feedback will be forwarded to the concerned teams.

Sorry about that, Susan. This is something we’re aware of, and we’ll share your feedback with our team. For now, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies and see if that helps. (Source)
